In the present monograph, we offer current insights into
polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arthritis. Both diseases are
typical for advanced age, and their incidences increase with aging.
Both diseases are a center point of interest not only for rheu-
tologists, gerontologists, ophthalmologists or neurologists, but
also for general prac- tioners. Early diagnosis and rapid
treatment, mainly with glucocorticoids can save one of the most
precious senses-vision. Damage to other organs (heart, aorta, co-
nary arteries, liver, lungs, kidneys), which are supplied by the
arteries affected by ischemic syndrome in the setting of giant cell
arthritis, has serious consequences as well. Late diagnosis of
giant cell arthritis can have fatal consequences for affected
patients. It is a matter of fact that the human population is
aging. Therefore, more attention has to be paid not only to
diagnosis, clinical course and treatment of rheumatic d- eases in
elderly, but also to their genetic, immunologic, endocrinologic,
chronobiologic mechanisms, and state-of-the-art diagnostic
modalities. I am convinced that the int- disciplinary research of
the diseases will allow us to diagnose and treat the rheumatic
diseases even faster and more effectively in the future.
